Ringed Plover chick and others from around Arbroath

Summer appeared to start this week and the birds haven't been waiting for it. The Ringed Plover chick is the only one with the two adults, Mickey has told me there were four eggs so it looks like the disturbance and gulls on the beach have had a big impact. The Sand Martins look to be feeding young and Swallows also seen were photographed leaving a nest with faecal sacs. The Whitethroat has found a large caterpillar and bashed it before flying off to its nest. Finally at least two Grey Wagtail chicks on the burn are well on the way with their tails coming along nicely.
